[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch51 - Looking for a Friend

Just as Sun Jinren had spoken, the System's notification had also sounded：【The scene has begun.】

Song Xuanhe turned his head around suddenly, movement abrupt. His action made Sun Jinren, who had been smiling flatteringly, startled. Because of this, neither of them noticed Xiao Yuanmu's sudden outburst of emotion.

"This..." Sun Jinren's narrowed eyes flickered between Xiao Yuanmu, whose eyes were lowered and whose emotions couldn't be read, and Song Xuanhe, who had on an icy expression and pursed lips. The words he wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat. Intuition told him that this wasn't a good time to say those words.

It was just that the gaze behind him that followed him like a shadow forced him to follow the plan. He rubbed his hands nervously, cursing the situation inwardly. He then regretted again having offended Xiao Yuanmu for the nth time before sucking in his belly and saying, "It's like this, Er shao, I have something to discuss with you."

Song Xuanhe's face was tense, and his cold gaze was sharp as a knife, slicing at Sun Jinren's face.

"What do you want to discuss?"

When he heard Song Er shao's overbearing and arrogant tone and thought about how the other actually seemed to care about Xiao Yuanmu, contrary to what the rumours said, Sun Jinren thought that telling the other that he wanted Xiao Yuanmu would be the same as provoking him.

Even though Song Qiyi had said that Song Xuanhe would not inherit the Song Family, he was still currently publicly acknowledged by the Song Group as one of the successors. Even before his company had changed hands, he still had had to put on a smile around the other. The current him had even less confidence around him and was even more wary of offending him. Furthermore, there was also Xiao Yuanmu, who he couldn't read.

Sun Jinren complained incessantly inside. Originally, although he had been very tempted when Song Qiyi had asked him to participate in this plan, he still feared the Song Family and Xiao Yuanmu. However, aside from the fact that Song Qiyi's reward was difficult to refuse, he was even more afraid of offending the person in the dark who had told him to do as Song Qiyi said.

By accepting this deal, Song Qiyi would help him get his company back, and he would be able to comply with that mysterious person's orders. Furthermore, Sun Jinren believed that if his company hadn't changed hands, he would have definitely continued with the previous plan to get his hands on Xiao Yuanmu with Song Qiyi's cooperation. After all, Xiao Yuanmu was indeed a top quality product. Therefore, even if he did have his misgivings about Xiao Yuanmu, he had no choice but to do this.

The Sun Jinren from before had been full of lust and courage to pursue said lust. But now, all of that was gone. However, he still had to cautiously implement the same plan.

Sun Jinren cast a discreet glance at Xiao Yuanmu and then took a step towards Song Xuanhe. He lowered his voice and said, "I would like to chat with you alone."

Song Xuanhe's gaze turned even sharper, and his voice took on an icily arrogant tone. "What would you need to talk to me in private for? I don't think that we're close enough for that."

When he heard this, Xiao Yuanmu looked up, a surprised expression colouring his eyes. In his memories, Song Xuanhe hadn't said that.

The System also reminded Song Xuanhe：【This is the important scene where you're supposed to give Xiao Yuanmu to him. It would be best for you to follow your lines.】

Song Xuanhe's expression didn't change though as if he hadn't heard the System at all. He only stared at Sun Jinren coldly, watching for his reaction.
